I'll say again, all this rhetoric about "terrorists" using women and children as "human shields" doesn't make sense when Israel is shooting ROCKETS into entire NEIGHBORHOODS. It wouldn't matter if all the men stood together in a group, if the weapon used is massive overkill. Further, we have nothing but Israel's WORD that terrorists are being targeted, that the people they are killing are actually terrorists at all, that they have proven ANYTHING about ANYONE. Why don't they go in and capture these supposed terrorists and put them on TRIAL, if they have evidence against them? They have the ability to do so. But I guess just randomly shooting rockets into neighborhoods is a "better" option. Blaming the women and children who are killed is obscene. But expected from Americans, who can't seem to get enough blood to drink.
Actually its Israel that feeds the US this BS, and they lap it up like candy. Dropping bombs like that is the better option if you want to totally destroy everything in the area and drive all it's inhabitants out so that you can build new settlements. Gaza is on the coast you know...tons of money to be made there
here we go with Willow generalizing and her bigotted blanket statements. AMERICANS ARENT THE ONLY PEOPLE ON EARTH WHO(AS YOU CLAIM) CANT SEEM TO GET ENOUGH BLOOD TO DRINK. Geesus Mary Jehosefat! Shall we name off all the countries that commit these crimes or have a blood lust?? shut it already. I have never seen somebody so biggotted and hateful in my entire life.
Hence my solution to nuke the entire country and then turn it into a Club Med when the fallout clears.
How nice of you to say when you have no ties there. How about we just nuke the US and Canada can have a nice playground. I can't stand it when people make stupid comments like that. There are PEOPLE there Otter, REAL LIVE PEOPLE.
mari....it was a joke. other people got it when I made it the first time. geez. I and others have made similar jokes about Cuba and of California plummeting into the sea after the next Big One.
and you know this how???? Interesting how my friend Rachel laughed at my joke despite the fact that she has family there that own a date(as in the fruit..not the practice) plantation. Her family runs a Kibbutz.I'm sure the hippies here know what that is..a year of debauchery in the guise of picking fruits.lol she said she'd join the Club Med.(as a joke as well)
Mari, you have to understand - Otter is quite the disturbed individual. She just can't understand why people don't "get" her jokes about dropping nuclear bombs. And as far as wanting to see someone more "bigoted" and "hateful" than me, otter, try looking into a mirror some day.
here's willow the perverbial pot calling the kettle uber-black. Miss-invadeIsrael. what's you next idea? round up Americans in foreign countries(tourists and students) and shoot them for existing?
Yes otter I can see how your friend would laugh, she thinks you are only talking about the other side of the fence. Notice how it's funny when it's not really about you or your family? I have FAMILY there. Palestinian family though so they probably don't count. They live in Ramallah, Jaffa and Tel Aviv, just to name a few places. Just because YOU had a bad experience with Arab men doesn't mean that they are all like that. Granted some of them do treat their women like shit, and do carry it too far, but I have seen Western men treat their women the same.
The POINT of this post, which you unsuprisingly don't "get" as usual (or are pretending not to get anyway) is the HYPOCRISY of the US regime in choosing which "rogue states" to invade. NOT that I ACTUALLY want ANY NATION invaded. I am ANTIWAR. I don't believe war is the solution to anything. I believe that ALL this garbage will only perpetuate violence on this planet, because that is what it has done throughout humanity's existence. Since the advent of the ruling elite, this planet has had an estimated 9 years of peace. Perhaps I am assuming too much...that the posters here understand what I am saying as a long-time poster and moderator - knowing that I am ANTIWAR and do not support ANY state military intervention in ANYTHING. But I'll make that clear NOW, since at least YOU don't seem to understand what is being said here.
waaay off base and ASSuming again Mari. She thought the joke was funny period. and she doesnt side with Israel.Most of the Jewish-American community are absolutely appalled by Israel and Bush's support. When I went down to the march on April 25. I went down with the Union of Reform Judeism. There were 3 female Rabbis on that bus and they all had nothing but bad words to say about Israel and Bush. they are downright disgusted by the situation. the difference between them and you obviously is that they appreciate non-PC tongue-in-cheek humor. Oh and Willow...hold on..I need my translator for all your Blah Blah Blahs so a reply will have come later.
well, of course some would.. and depending on the situation, i could very well do so. i know i wouldn't allow it near my children, though.
No otter not most, SOME. Most would live there if they could and send money to support the occupation. Look it up. Not to mention that when some item hits the news that doesn't seem to shed a beautiful light on Israel they are boycotting major corporations until they get their way, and it works.
an entirely different culture, perhaps? one where they're teaching their children to idolize suicide bombers? if they are allowing their children to be used and human shields, they wouldn't be the first culture to do so.
not specifically so, but i've watched several programs on the "death culture" being propagated within many palistinian cultures, wherein the children are trading suicide bomber trading cards and idolising various terrorists. i would equate that with various amercian parents allowing and therefore teaaching the idolisation of athletes or violent type heroes. while i'm certain it's not the entirety of palestinian parents, who are probably just trying to make a living and keep body and soul together, it's not secret that militant people raise militant children.
